Log pri Brezovici (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈloːk pɾi ˈbɾeːzɔʋitsi/) is a settlement southwest of Ljubljana in central Slovenia. It is the administrative centre of the Municipality of Log-Dragomer in the Inner Carniola region.[2] The territory of the settlement is traversed by the A1 motorway, which used to have a toll plaza there.[3]

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Log to Log pri Brezovici (literally, 'Log near Brezovica') in 1953.[4] Before this it was often referred to as Log pri Ljubljani (literally, 'Log near Ljubljana'), and this name is often still used today.[5] [6] [7]

Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Parish of Brezovica.[8]

Cultural heritage

The route of the former rail line from Brezovica pri Ljubljani to Vrhnika passes through Log pri Brezovici. The rail line was completed in 1899 and was abandoned in 1966.[9] A road overpass over the rail line was built in 1952.[10]
